simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
Lyoko: ilikemusic because... i love dance, indie and urban genres!
Chuck, Simple Plan: ilikemusic because... It was always a way to escape whatever problems I was going through; whatever trouble I had, I could just put on a record or a song and feel better right away and I hope that our music can have the same effect on our fans.
Lockoutmusic: ilikemusic because... it can be personal to every indivdual. The meaning of the lyrics can be moving and also relaxing.
Rob Cremona: ilikemusic because... Cool laid back soul, atmospheric instrumentals and the occasional gospel choirs to lift my soul.
ashutosh: ilikemusic because... whatever journey you're on, you need a sountrack.
Terry, The Temptations: ilikemusic because... There’s no way I could ever imagine a world without music.
dj tie one: ilikemusic because... its like cornflakes in the morning
Rasmus, Alphabeat: ilikemusic because... It makes me happy and it makes me dance around and sometimes it makes me a bit emotional. It encompasses all the emotions from happiness to sadness and it’s fun to play too.
ILM: What is your advice for young people just starting out in their careers on achieving their dreams? Doing what they want career wise?
ESTELLE: Figure out who you are on a real level. Don't sit there and be a follower. Be who YOU are. You're going to figure it out all through your twenties. But try and do the best you can, go above and beyond. Don't just accept your friend down the road's opinion. They're not buying your record, find out a different point of view. Don't be hard faced about it. If you ask for advice you're going to get 100% real advice.
But don't go to people who've not done anything, or people in the industry who've got very little experience. Go and ask advice of people who are where you want to be. I play my records to Wyclef Jean because he's legendary, or Swizzie because they're legendary. I want to be legendary. Let me find out your opinion on my stuff and where I can make it better. You have nothing to lose. And if you have no access to those kinds of people, find the people in your town that are doing it. Forget the genre or style, find the people who are big in your town. Find The Feeling or an artist or manager who had made a pop hit and find out their opinion. Don't limit yourself.
ILM: How's New York been and are you still having sleeping problems?
ESTELLE: I've figured out I have sleeping problems when I have something to be worried about. But right now I have nothing to be worried about. I did my best with the album and there's so much love and support for it, I have nothing to be worried about. But someone said to me, it's the panic that nothing's going wrong. You're used to things going wrong. But also this schedule is keeping me very tired, so I'm sleeping better now.page << 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 >>
